Why pay for coaching?
I was walking with my son recently when he asked:
“Why would anyone pay for business coaching?”
This is a great question, especially for a 19 year old: why would you spend hard earned cash on hiring in a coach, especially when times are tight?
Here are some reasons why I employ a coach (and why you may want to as well):
Focus- My coach helps me focus on my long term goals, rather than the things that seem urgent but accomplish little in the long run. Meaning that I am more likely to achieve my goals.
Individual- My coach listens to me and asks good questions that help me progress in a way that works for me, rather than providing generic advice that may or may not work, depending on my personality or circumstances.
Investment- I choose to invest well now in money, time and energy for a better future for me and my family. As I invest in coaching now, I am choosing to invest in greater job satisfaction, a greater chance of success and financial rewards. This means investing in coaching saves me & my company money in the long term.
Action- My coach helps me identify short term actions that help me take steps towards my long term goal. Then, they ask how I have done with actions I decided on from the last session. This keeps me accountable, even when I don’t feel like it.
Growth- Growth is uncomfortable and I tend toward trying to make life as comfortable as possible. My coach helps me work and improve, and even though it is uncomfortable. I want to improve my business and coaching, so why wouldn’t I have a coach?
So why pay for coaching?
Because I can do so much better and achieve so much more if I have a coach.
My business will do better, I will have better finances and it is absolutely worth the investment.
